--- Comment #3 from Baptiste Daroussin <[email protected]> --- I'm not portmgr anymore, so I would share what was discussed long ago. While it is true portmaster and portupgrade are still in ports, none of them are still in active maintenance. We discussed a lot between portmgr about removing portmaster/portupgrade from the handbook. Beside some drawbacks of those tools which yes could be documented as "pro/cons" for true, no active maintenance is also a problem regarding some evolution that are planned in the ports tree for very long: subpackages and alternative/flavours. which will break the design around which portupgrade and portmaster are built: a port is unique via its origin. portmaster took years to catch up on pkg_install -> pkg transition (portupgrade was a bit faster to catch up due to active maintenance from bdrewery on portupgrade at the time). I would vote on removing documentation of both tools in the handbook -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
